    About this ebook

    Jess thought the old tales of dangerous creatures living beneath the water were just crazy stories, until her friend Freya was stolen. To rescue her Jess must capture one of them - a shapeshifter, a kelpie - but he's nothing like she imagined. Finn sees her in ways that no one ever has. Not even Magnus, who's known her all her life. Caught between two worlds, Jess must choose between what she's always known and what lies... Beneath.

      It begins with a feeling of being watched in the woods, which Jess dismisses as her imagination. Then comes the disappearance of a local boy—the second from their village in a year—which the whole neighborhood seems to dismiss as an unexplained tragedy. But when Jess sees her best friend, Freya, taken beneath the waters of Roseroot Pond by a mysterious blue-eyed black horse, she can no longer ignore the strange events surrounding her 16th century Scottish village. Jess’s attempts to explain Freya’s disappearance are met with disbelief and hostility from everyone but her grandmother. Gran tells her the local lore about the Kelpies: beings that live beneath the water and can shift between horse and human. Armed with this knowledge, Jess sets out to rescue Freya. Her journey takes her into a strange new world and a strangely powerful new relationship with Finn, the Kelpie who took Freya and who helps free her for Jess’s sake.When Finn’s actions get him banned from his own world, Jess’s sense of responsibility for him sets her at odds with her family and friends, including Magnus, the young man who’s been courting her. Jess soon finds both her loyalty and her heart divided. Then danger from outside threatens to destroy both worlds—and both the young men she cares for.The paranormal romance/love triangle is a fairly well-established trope in YA literature, and this is a competently written, engaging entry into that field. Sure to appeal to fans of Maggie Stiefvater’s “Shiver” series.
